Daylight Saving Time: How can you fall back when you're bent over?

Get ready all you fellow geezers out there in Geezerdom--time to set those clocks back. Or is it forward? I never can remember. Let's see now--isn't it "spring forward, fall back? Problem for me is, I had a football coach back in high school who would always admonish us running backs when we were tackled to "fall forward". I've always remembered that. But what difference does it make anyway? Either way, for the next month, I'm going to be either an hour early or hour late to wherever I'm going. Good thing I don't need to go anywhere. I can just stay home and grouch about how silly the whole notion of daylight saving time is. Whoever came up with such a thing anyway? I'd like to shake his hand while strangling him with the other. All I know is I need to spend the next hour looking for all the user manuals to the oven clock, the bedroom alarm clock and the clock in my car. Then I'll need to find some teenager to decipher the instructions. And for what good purpose? What's the use of Daylight Saving Time anyway? Is it just so we can see when we're on our way to work instead of when we're on our way home from work? What difference does that make to a retired geezer--a very grouchy geezer?
